One thing for me, talking to the folks on the bus to arsenal. I honestly don’t think AP has much time to win them over. It’s sad really but probably close to the truth.

Fans are fickle. A few wins and suddenly everyone loves the manager. It's Edu and Marinakis he has to impress.

I agree because he does not seem to be in the same mould as Nuno and Cooper in relation to appreciating the fan base and how important that connection is. It’s the hard Aussie exterior that I believe is hard to warm to. Having said that I will give him the benefit of the doubt. One thing is obvious he has to get a style of play that suits the players at his disposal, time is not on his side either. Nuno got a great run going last year and that is all it takes to lift the entire mood.

No sign of nuno chants.

SBA, In his last before arsenal, he literally said how important the fan base was and how special the forest community is in relation to the team. I'm an Aussie and we are by far the most affable travellers and people. Don't mistake his confidence and belief for arrogance, despite all the smack he gets, he has won so much in his career and has a track record of success. Not having a go mate but do some research before talking rubbish.

Maybe was a little harsh SBA. haha. He's a very lovable person, just direct and honest. I think the shift in mentality will be hard for some of the players, completely different style.

SYDRED, we will see whether he gets the fan connection, a few words in a press conference mean absolutely nothing, then perhaps we will see who is talking rubbish?
